It's a problem.

People who tell me "America, Love It or Leave it."

Well, Hairplug Himmler has made it so we can't. Instead, I will use my passport as a noise maker on my Schwinn with a clothes pin.

It has the unofficial record of being the only one where the 1st 29 players drafted in the 1st Round played in the Majors.

Notables: Gerrit Cole, Anthony Rendon, Francisco Lindor, and the late Jose Fernandez.

Difference between being motivated for the public interest versus private interest.

Joe Biden and the Democrats are motivated by the "better angels" of our polity. The public good, equality achievement, and rational discourse are just some of these motivations.

Unfortunately there may be no greater motivation than staving off indictment, incarceration, and being scorned as a loser. Such are the private motivations of Fuhrer Clorox. That reminds me always, there is NOTHING Chump won't do to avoid these outcomes.

Stay ready, and you don't have to get ready.

In the era of canned crowd noise for professional sports I offer this
